I'm turning into my mother

I hate to say that I recognise some of my mother's traits in myself and they are ones I dislike in my mother ? I try very hard not to be too much like her, sadly. Overall I think I am more like my father, though.

I have no problem turning into my Mother, although she died at 68 from RA complications. She was beautiful - compared often to Heddy Lamar (?) when younger, and generous in deed and word to the end. I have a picture of a young her and one of DD2 at about 11 and the resemblance is uncanny.

I shudder when I see myself in a mirror and see myself standing or walking like my mother did. Have always said I don't want to be like her.

If I could be as good as my mum I’d be over the moon, she was a great mum

Would you please, PLEASE give us your recipe, and instructions, for your broth?
It's been absolute years since I made any and I just love it, would love to make it for my children & grandchildren!

Last time I made it I was working in London, living 8n Sudbury Town, had been home for a few days and when I got back I'd raced off to get thd ingredients.
I'd started making it up, and one by one my flatmates came in (at least 3 of them Scottish) and asked what it was? When I told them, they made utterances of, "UGH, no, I'll pass, thank you" Great, I thought to myself, all for me...and when I get to the stodgy spuds at the bottom YUMMY!
Finally, it was ready. I got myself a bowl of it and went into my room. I was sitting on my bed when my Scottish roomy asked me what I was eating? I told her. She looked, and said, "God, that smells soooo good, could I get some, please?" But of course!

It didn't last long. Even a couple of girls in the other flats came to see what that lovely smell was? (Flats within one house).
But alas, I lost the recipe, and my mum died so I can't ask her for it!

OH PLEASE SHARE! xx

Oh, I forgot, I'd like to say I'm not turning into my mum but, oh god!
I'm a grammar nasty, but she did it to us and it's ingrained into us, I'm sorry if I correct anyone. (I spotted the mistakes in my previous comment, but can't edit it).
I just hope my children keep loving me, as I can't say my mum & I had a very loving relationship. I didn't absolutely hate her, but I definitely moved 400 miles to get away from her & her interfering ways!!

No I will make sure I don't turn into my mother but distressingly I do look a bit like her but hopefully without the scowl.
